Wernicke encephalopathy in pregnancy associated with hyperemesis gravidarum: a case report.
Article in BMC pregnancy and childbirth, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundWernicke Encephalopathy is a rare neurological disorder caused by thiamine deficiency, which can occur in pregnant women with severe hyperemesis gravidarum. CASE PRESENTATION: This case report describes a 21-year-old primigravida with severe hyperemesis gravidarum leading to Wernicke Encephalopathy, due to thiamine deficiency. The patient experienced cognitive disturbances, followed by neurological symptoms of nystagmus, limb ataxia and postural instability. Following the diagnosis, intravenous thiamine replacement therapy was administered, resulting in gradual neurological improvement.
conclusionsThis case underscores the importance of early identification and treatment of thiamine deficiency in pregnant patients with hyperemesis gravidarum to prevent irreversible neurological damage.
